"Chips made from flour tortillas which have been dipped in canola oil and then in a cinnamon-sugar mix and baked. They come out tasting like really crisp praline cinnamon chips."
1Stir sugar, cinnamon, chili powder, and black pepper in a shallow bowl until thoroughly combined.
2Pour canola oil into a separate bowl.
3Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
4Dip tortilla squares into canola oil on both sides and press into the seasoned sugar mixture; arrange coated chips on baking sheets.
5Broil chips until sugar bubbles and chips are crisp, about 2 minutes; watch carefully to prevent burning. Turn the chips over and broil other sides until browned, another 2 minutes. Let cool before serving.
Footnotes
Cook's Notes:
Use canola oil. Do not use vegetable oil or olive oil.
The thicker the sugar mixture is on each rectangle, the darker, crunchier and quicker to burn each will be. For this reason, sometimes I sprinkle it on rather than dip, but it depends on my mood more than anything.
Editor's Note:
We have determined the nutritional value of canola oil for cooking based on a retention value of 10%. The exact amount will vary depending on cooking time, exact temperature, and ingredient density, among other factors.
